The timeline that brought us here

This message from Tony Mowbray is as lovely as it is important. He’s always struck me as one of the most likeable and humble people in the game; hopefully he’s back working soon. ❤️

Ph2 QW ISL/LEN vs BFTAF. W48 VS 94% & 92%. No viral rebound, 6 discont while VS. More DRAE in ISL/ LEN arm but no discont. 2 non drug related AE on ISL/LEN, 1 acute HBV. Since BFTAF would likely have prevented this, I'd argue it IS drug-related? #hivglasgow

ViiV Healthcare systematic review, some evaluating M184V/I at baseline (10,383 ppl) some not (47,350 ppl). 5% of the former group had baseline 184, 0.9% of whole population. 0.02% & 0.01% had VF with INSTI RAMs & none had known pre-existing 184. #hivglasgow

The potential long-acting ART future from Jose Arribas! That's a LOT of potential....! But none are NRTIs so we must ensure safety for people with or at risk of HBV #hivglasgow #hivglasgow2024

Know your ULA (ultra long-acting) from your ULO (ulonivirine or MK-8507). Things evolve fast in HIV Medicine but our insistence on making things as confusing as possible with names/abbreviations stays stubbornly constant..... #hivglasgow #hivglasgow2024

DOLCE Study: DTG/3TC vs TDF/XTC + DTG 1st line in HBV neg ppl with CD4 <200. 25% F, 1/3 CDC3, median CD4 117 (8%), 10% VL >1m! Incredible results both arms, 2DR achieves same VS curve & does at least as well at higher VLs (numbers small) 11 PDVF with no RAMs (7DT 4TT) #hivglasgow

The infection prevention session this afternoon at HIV Glasgow had everyone talking about DoxyPEP, including BHIVA members Laura Waters and I Reeves

Interesting and also saddened to see that some deaths were unknown.

Last night's European #HIV #stigmaforum was a great success, which also provided an opportunity to catch up with Noone and introduced me to the amazing Eliane Becks _The HIV Stigma Fighter. Thanks to Academic Medical Education and ViiV Healthcare for organizing and funding it! #ZeroHIVstigma

Fascinating talk on cure research ethics from Karine Dube & a shout-out for peoplefirtcharter.org! Great talk calling for justice informed cure trials with ATIs & a summary of the updated ATI consensus which you can read more about here: santheafrica.org/our-gallery/... #HIVglasgow

1/3🧵We finally got Guido Fawkes, Richard Tice and Lord Shaun Bailey in front of a judge - after some procedural games. These are the last three in the Hamas libel case – independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/…

People who have a greater tendency to detect illusory patterns are also more likely to be receptive to conspiracies and pseudo-profound bullshit. - onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ej… - cambridge.org/core/journals/…

On the last day of HIV Glasgow, Sarah Allstaff and Laura Waters discuss the EACS Guidelines session

Look who we’ve bumped into at #HIVGlasgow2024! Two of the stars from our @TheSkinDeep campaign Garry Brough & Laura Waters. They reflect on the importance of open and honest communication between people living with HIV and their healthcare providers.

Tolerating pseudoscience in our culture is not a victimless crime. It’s an intellectual crime with grave consequences.
